gift 225x300 10 Thoughtful Valentines Day Gifts for Pregnant WomenMy husband and I skipped Christmas/Chanukah gifts this year and opted to take a trip together instead, so as Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s the first time we’ve bought each other gifts in a long time. We both absolutely love picking out gifts for each other, so as much as it tends to be a tough thing to do, I cannot wait to start shopping for him, though I know he’s having a little more trouble than I am.

Since last week we discussed, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, gifts that you should not buy a pregnant woman, it only seemed fair to come up with a list of thoughtful gifts for pregnant women to balance it all out. I can obviously only speak for myself and the few other women I spoke to when coming up with these ideas, but any one of these would be something I would absolutely adore for Valentine’s Day. Though hopefully it goes without saying that what matters most is the time with my husband. And the chocolates. I mean the time.

And though I think this list is a good start to any Valentine’s Day shopping list, perhaps to help out all the men who are beginning their shopping voyages, the rest of you can add some other suggestions in the comments to cover other gifts I might have overlooked.

Prenatal Massage
I am pretty sure I'm not alone in the relatively constant aches and pains of pregnancy. The hips, low back, pelvic and other really fun pains are almost all I can take some days. So the idea of a gift certificate to get a prenatal massage? Heaven.

What other gift ideas would you give to significant others shopping for a pregnant woman this Valentine’s Day?

Here’s another shop for the necklaces: http://www.etsy.com/shop/juliethefish/ She does AWESOME work!!

How about a new outfit and he cooks you dinner at home? It’s cheaper than going out and you still get your new outfit!

Another great idea is the satin nursing PJs from HadleyStilwell (www.hadleystilwell.com). Beautiful and beautifully made, they make you look and feel good at a time when many women don’t feel that way. There’s a fleece top available for the PJs, too, if you live in a colder climate.
